How long do you wait? until you feel ready to date again, it could be a day or a year (unless you hope to get back with your ex). It sounds like you want to date this new guy so GO FOR IT!

Oblivia agony auntHi again, just wanted to add to my previous answer about discretion and going somewhere you usually don't go. Just remember to tell at least one good friend, or a family member, where you are and with whom, just to be safe.

Best wishes!

Oblivia agony auntI don't think it would do any harm to go on a date. You broke up because you weren't happy as it was and wanted something else. What if this guy is what you are looking for, then you don't want to miss out on him, or at least you don't want to sit wondering "what if..". You can still take it slow if you feel you are not absolutely ready yet. And no, you are not a bitch, don't call yourself by such names, you are a single girl who wants to date a nice guy. You don't have to rub it in your ex:s face, be a little descrete about it. maybe go somewhere on the first dates where your ex and others you both know don't use to go.

Wish you luck!

LouLee agony auntpersonally i would take it, remember it's only a date, if you're worried about your ex getting hurt, then yes he may get hurt but even if you waited longer your ex still may be hurt so it really is up to you.
